Most Disliked
Some customers express concerns about the extreme spiciness of certain dishes, which can catch newcomers off guard. While many appreciate the bold flavors, those less accustomed to spice might find some offerings overwhelming. Additionally, a few reviews hint at the need for ambiance improvements; while Ceylon Chennai Xpress focuses on delicious food, the dining environment could benefit from aesthetic upgrades to attract more dine-in customers. A handful of guests have pointed out long wait times during peak hours, particularly on weekends, which may lead to a less-than-ideal experience for those in a hurry.

I find myself back at this restaurant once again. Good choice of food from rice, dosa and kothu. My all time favourite would the fresh parotta or egg parotta with choice meat or seafood curries. The fish fry and chicken liver are to die for at this place, along with their fresh kothu roti! But the level of spiciness is little extreme. Their vegetarian options are good too, like the potato devil and set rice and curries. Portion size is decent for price!

We wanted eat karela porota and we thought this may be the right place ... and it was ... So we went there yesterday hoping for a descent meal ... to our surprise it was more than descent To start with we had thier non vegetarian samosa this had chicken and boiled egg ... it was different and was brilliant Then we had the mutton rolls which was beautiful also had the fish pakoda kinda thing which was most beautiful thing we ate. Then for our Mains we had karela portable which was nice, with the porota we ate chicken curry and fish curry The taste of the chicken curry was absolutely brilliant , but the show stopper was fish curry That blew our minds Beautiful food The restaurant could have some work done as in ambiance for getting more customers there.
